Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This creates your dry mixture.
In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve. Enjoy as a deliciously indulgent treat any time of the day!
